RM Summer Scratch Round 4

​Sorry, not much to say today as I wasn't shoreside.

that said, it did sound like one of the more difficult days, with varied wind directions and all speeds from 2 knots to 20 knots. A good prep for next weeks RM State Championship

Wednesday is our regular IOM Mid Week Handicap at the dam, from 11am.

Today's winner was John Cole-Cook on 12 points , whose F6 was certainly on song and ready for next week. In second place was Ray Joyce on 16 points. Third place today was taken out by Stuart Dawes on 24 points.

On handicap, Mat Gray took out first with 2 net points. John Cole-Cook and Andrew Wardrop took second place with 1 net point.

Next Saturday is the commencement of the RM State Championship, which will conclude on Sunday. We have six mainland skippers coming to compete, so it will be the most competitive field seen in the state since we held the 2018 National Championships. If you can spare some time, it would be very worth coming down to Montrose to watch. It will also be the most RM's to sail there since the 2018 Nationals as well, with a fantastic field of 14 yachts.

We have some volunteers across the two days, and we are already really appreciative of those who have volunteered. There is always room for more to help out and share the load, so if you feel you'd like to help - even for part of the day, please get in touch with either myself or John Hall.
